This time, history will be written by the victims

The Syrian Refugee

Omran was rescued in a collapsed building by civil defense workers in Aleppo, Syria. At no point during his rescue did Omran shed a tear, and neither did the people who rescued him.

Years of civil war and daily airstrikes became the norm, to the point that these airstrikes no longer fazed Omran or the people of Aleppo, which faced a prolonged siege by Syrian government and rebels since the start of the ongoing conflict.
